[arch-general] Frustrating Dependencies

[Phillip Smith]

Hi all,

So, there's currently a frustrating chain of dependencies:

digikam -> kdepimlibs -> akonadi -> mysql

So to manage my digital photos, I need a relational database
system...! On a desktop system that I don't use for development, it's
a bit annoying to have to have mysql taking up space, downloads during
updates etc.

Is there anyway we can get around this particular chain of deps? It's
not a major issue, but just "one of those things" ;)

Cheers,
